Tangled Bobbin Thread
#11
One of the problems I'm having is the bobbin thread getting tangled in the first few stitches. My bobbin loads flat in my machine, rather than loading from the front. With my other Brother, I could pull thread up for the bobbin and lay it behind my foot, along with the thread from the spool. Is any of this making sense? Because I can't do that with this Brother, the end gets tangled underneath. Sometimes I can untangle it, but often not. This makes my SITD look messy on the back. kwim?

This sounds like the solution. Let us know if it works for you. Sometimes our machines will do things we didn't know about.

I do the same with both my Brother and my Janome. I also do it at the end of stitching so that all my threads are at the top of the quilt. It makes it so much easier to tuck all my threads in when I finish

I was taught to hold the top thread and make your first stitch. Pull it to get your bobbin thread on top of your fabric. Now you can pull both threads together either to the side or back. This should keep them from tangling. Hope this helps
